Video
I promise I wasn’t intending to draw more art for @zarvasace ’s Hyrule College of Practical Arts, but how could I not after Green and Zelda’s library chapter?? They were adorable and I couldn’t not commemorate it!!
Hence, a process video of the water colour layer for a piece I hope I’ll be able to post tomorrow, assuming I finish the colour pencil layer and get some daylight. The camera is a little bit wonky (and gets very shaky for a few seconds about halfway through, you’ve been warned), and I blame that on 1) holding it in one hand while drawing with the other and 2) my partner walking in to ask me where his charger went.
#four swords#hcopa#green link#zelda#green link/zelda#i almost decided against posting this bc of how shaky the video gets at one point#but then decided that that's what i get for shutting off the stabiliser (even though the stabiliser made my laptop shut down-#-so i guess it was this or nothing)#also enjoy christmas music in november#bc i've been restraining myself since october#the music is 'Upbeat Uplifting Christmas - Family Holiday Fairy Tale' by SoundGalleryBy#and i found it on pixabay

What do you think of when you think of a Teen Advisory Group?
I asked our TAG members this question during our last meeting, because I wanted us to work together to design a graphic that I could use whenever I posted about our activities.
I opened up Canva and Pixabay on my computer, and then we got to work. Our teens suggested favorite colors (pink and yellow), as well as objects that represented our discussions and how TAG members vote on how we should spend our funds. They suggested images like books, bookmarks, thumbs up / thumbs down, a money bag, plus a computer and chat balloons to represent our virtual meetings.
We did a lot of work during the meeting, but then I spent the next several days making many little adjustments. I looked at so many thumbs up / thumbs down examples that it felt like my head was spinning. Luckily, Canva lets you flip images, so I chose a thumbs up, copied it, and flipped the second one to make a thumbs down. WHEW!
Check out this post to see an early work-in-progress version of this image!

(Image ID:) a blue, green, and white graphic titled “Depersonalization versus Derealization: Exploring the differences in two dissociative symptoms” organized in two columns. The left hand column is titled “Depersonalization” with a stock icon of a head with a scribbled like for the brain. The right hand column is titled “Derealization” with a stock icon of a broken heart.
The statements in the “Depersonalization” column read: “I have trouble recognizing myself, including my reflection and aspects of my identity,” “I feel as though I don’t exist, like I’m invisible, or like someone besides me is controlling my body,” “I feel disconnected from thoughts, memories, and actions, and have a weak sense of identity,” and “I feel numb physically and emotionally when recalling my own past or painful events.”
The statements in the “Derealization” column read: “I have trouble recognizing my surroundings and environment,” “I feel as though the world around me doesn’t exist, including places and people I interact with daily,” “I feel disconnected from reality and struggle to determine what’s real and what isn’t,” and “I feel numb to the world around me, and daily life seems foggy, unreal, and fake.”
Below these columns is the word “sources:” with the following links:
https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/conditions/dissociative-disorders/
https://www.isst-d.org/public-resources-home/fact-sheet-iv-what-are-the-dissociative-disorders/

Bound: The Star Splitter by @oflights
If there is one thing I am not, it is patient. The minute I finished this fic, I ran off to ask the author for permission to bind it. I'm so happy I'll get to have this one on my shelf!
I spent a lot of time (for me, anyway) on the typeset. I wanted the chapter pages to be special but also was afraid that if I printed them in color, they'd bleed through (like what happened with The Man Who Lived.) But I didn't think I'd be able to fit the text block in my guillotine if I used a heavier weight paper.
Happily, I was able to use the heavier paper and the chapter pages and illustrations (by the absolutely incredible @littlewinnow) without any bleedthrough on the back.
I made the end papers with illustrations off pixabay and foil toner. Do I love them? Not as much as I wish I did. I may do something slightly different for the author copy. We'll see. (Mostly I don't love the color of the cardstock I printed on.)
So once I was happy with the text block, I had to think about the cover. I didn't want to do yet another navy book, so I almost went with black, but I decided to peruse the fabric store for starry printed fabric, and brought home a couple of options. I decided I liked this one the best.
I was also nervous about this because I've never used printed fabric on a cover, and I was worried how the title would look. So I reconfigured my original design to make it legible. Oh, and thanks Joann's for having this holographic HTV on clearance! I love how it looks a million different colors, depending on the light and the angle and what it's reflecting.
Now. Go read this lovely fic if you haven't already!

Given my defenses of AI artists/dim view of the moral panic, I think overall people pushing back on this is a good thing.
Like, the sort of AI art I like is by small weirdos doing weirdo things not big megacorps using it to replace workers, and WotC and Hasbro are run by bastards who would probably salivate at the idea of replacing artists on MtG given they'd probably be the easiest ones to replace from a greedy-corporate-bastard view.
However, there's a souple of notes here I think we all should keep an eye on.
Namely, the fact that it was apparently from an artist using an AI tool that WotC didn't know about. Which, I think that's going to be a problem creators run into sooner or later with "AI bans"
Like, I get a lot of images for my photomanip stuff from Pixabay. And more and more I've been seeing a lot of AI art stuff as a part of it. How would those bans impact me if I; say; used them as an ingredient in a photomanip without knowing?
So, there's that. But there's also a disquieting possibility I've noticed.
Namely: Given the main fear about AI is that its ability to work quickly at volume might be used to push out traditional artists and their precision, what happens if corpos push for "the worst of both worlds"?
IE, what if; due to the expanded production speed of AI art; they mandate that creators work at speeds that can only be done if they use AI tools, but also end up forcing them to conceal and lie about it and leaving the artists to take the fall for using it rather than the corpos for pushing the culture of overwork that made it necessary?
TBH, I think that's why we need to focus less on the "stealing" argument being used as a way to talk about the destruction of the artistic ecosystem by mandated speed, and more the idea of the right of the artist to work at their own pace that might be able to do something about it.
But, IDK, that's just me, it's just something to watch out for.

I do love you 🖤 [In Stars and Time Animation Meme] (Act 5 spoilers)
I do love you meme in 2024?? I never had a chance to do this meme while it was popular, and I had the idea recently of doing it just for the hell of it! It was a meme that lots of people grew to hate due to it being "lazy" and everywhere and being a trend at the height of people's "animation memes are cringe" phase, and fuck that!! Let people do what they want and have fun!!
I got into the game In Stars and Time about a month ago, and I absolutely loved it, it's up there as one of my favorite games! I would highly recommend it! This video has HUGE spoilers, so I'd only watch it after finishing the game if you're planning on it.
I used a new method of exporting video in this one so that I could better use a green screen, and it was absolute hell and made the editing take way longer than the actual art. Will probably not be using this method in the future if I can help it.
Original: Tigriss TreeOEleven
Inspiration: powdersoft
Song: I Do Love You - Kill Paris
All backgrounds (including the one in the thumbnail) are from Pixabay
Programs: FireAlpaca, iMovie

Ares as... rooster?
Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com
[ID: An image of a brown-gold rooster cawing. The rooster has a large, six-pointed comb and orange-red round eyes. The background is blurry, highlighting the rooster's neck and face.]
ARES IS A WONDERFUL GOD, and there is little academia about him in particular. There is much about the analysis of him in the Iliad and function in myth, but less about his cultus and more obscure traits. While researching, I stumbled upon a very different Ares….as a rooster. So, as a quick post, here is a small bit on Ares and roosters.
ROOSTERS IN ANCIENT GREECE
Roosters are funny creatures. They’re very feisty, but also sometimes cowardly—affectionate, but terribly bloodthirsty. I have worked with several roosters in my time, and they’ve either been useless or fiends. Hens are often much better at their jobs. A good rooster though is priceless, and I’ll never forget the white tufted rooster at my job we used to have that would cuddle but also attack dogs if they dared step near his flock. Perhaps due to this, Ares also gained an association with roosters—he’s certainly the good kind, if he is to be compared to a rooster.
Chickens were originally thought to have arrived in the Archaic era, aided by chickens being termed the “Persian bird.” Sacred roosters may have even appeared in temples, perhaps suggesting to us as modern polytheists to raise birds in devotion to the gods. They were not a common bird, coming in slowly from West Asia—with divine association, appearing on temples and later into Egypt in which they were connected to the pharaoh. Their ability to produce meat and eggs also made them far more convenient than pigs or cattle, along with consuming less resources. When the bird then reached the Minoans, it possibly gained martial connotations and appeared on Minoan seals.
Chickens in ancient Greece gained many associations—naturally with Helios, but also with childbirth, Selene and her lunar cycles, Apollon and Asklepios, as a chthonian being with Hermes and Persephone, and as a symbol of rebirth and transition.
THE MYTH OF ARES AND THE ROOSTER
There is also the story of Ares’ soldier and lover Alcetyron, who failed to guard the door to Ares and Aphrodite’s affair, allowing Helios to witness the couple:
“Mi. Why, to be sure, I have heard something like this before about a cock. It was the story of a young man called Alectryon; he was a lover of Ares,—used to join in his revels and junketings, and give him a hand in his love affairs. Whenever Ares went to pay a sly visit to Aphrodite, he used to take Alectryon with him, and as he was particularly afraid that Helios would see him, and tell Hephaestus, he would always leave Alectryon at the door, so that he might give him warning when the Helios was up. But one day Alectryon fell asleep, and unwittingly betrayed his trust; the consequence was that the Sun got a peep at the lovers, while Ares was having a comfortable nap, relying on Alectryon to tell him if any one came. Hephaestus heard of it, and caught them in that cage of his, which he had long had waiting for them. When Ares was released, he was so angry with Alectryon that he turned him into a cock, armour and all, as is shown by his crest; and that is what makes you cocks in such a hurry to crow at dawn, to let us know that the Sun is coming up presently; it is your way of apologizing to Ares, though crowing will not mend matters now.”
This story is then better explained by An Argument for a Bronze Age Introduction of the Cock in Ancient Greece by Jorrit M. Kelder:
Perhaps the bird served a double purpose, both as a symbol of ‘transition’ (including the various stages in the cycle of life) and virility. This double connotation may be reflected in the story of Alectryon, a companion of Ares, whose failure to warn his master (who was having an illicit affair with Aphrodite) of the arrival of Helios resulted in his transformation into a cock. The story, first attested in Lucian (Gallus 3), may well be a late one, designed to explain the name and manifold associations of the cock. None of these associations can with certainty be identified in Bronze Age Aegean iconography, though the presence of an altar on the Zakros sealing indicates that the bird could (also) serve some purpose in the religious sphere.
This dialogue continues on and the rooster reveals himself to be Pythagoras after thoroughly roasting the man he was speaking to.
ARES AS ROOSTER
Continuing on, paper I was reading explored slightly on the topic of gods as birds or bird-hybrids, such as Athene the owl, Hermes the chicken, and Ares the rooster:
This likely represents Ares the fighting rooster—a symbol of virtuality, and extended to his son Eros with eroticism and ancient Greek homosexuality. Cockfighting was a common sport in ancient Greece, likened with ‘masculine’ prowess in sports and even appearing on Panathenaic amphorae.
Admittedly, I found this most comedic and wonderful. I’m not completely sure what to do with this information beyond associating Ares with roosters, but it is a fun tidbit on him indeed. Roosters and chickens overall have a vast lore behind them, whether that is with the sun or as a symbol of death. Today, chickens are such a common aspect of life—we can simply go out and buy some eggs and chicken meat. However, two thousand years ago, I could imagine someone being beyond excited to finally be able to have a chicken in their life. From this small research spree for Ares, I have gained a new appreciation for chickens. Perhaps that is the blessing that he has given us in being a divine cock.
